  • Netflix algorithm used for faster biological imaging

    An algorithm created to improve Netflix's ability to predict movie preferences is being applied to Raman spectroscopy.

  • Watch how smart pajamas can benefit sleep patterns

    Sleepwear inconspicuously integrates sensing elements and portable power sources to track heartbeat, breathing and other parameters as the user slumbers.

  • Sacramento to reward app users who opt for low-carbon travel

    The city of Sacramento is trialing a scheme that would encourage residents to navigate the city using low-carbon travel alternatives.

  • Sludge tracking innovation could boost biogas production

    The flow behavior of sludge can be used to gauge how quickly organic matter is dissolving at high temperatures. The technique could help facilitate online monitoring of process performance.

  • US universities install Muroom high-tech lab

    The Muroom installation at the University of Illinois (UOI) Urbana-Champaign Electron Microscopy (EM) facility within the Materials Research Lab (MRL) was completed last year.

  • Big oil and gas data release by UK regulators

    The U.K. Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) launched the U.K. Oil and Gas National Data Repository (NDR), a publicly available dataset that encompasses over 130 terabytes of well, geophysical, field and infrastructure data.

  • Self-driving machine suctions apples from trees

    A California-based startup has developed an autonomous solution for apple picking.

  • Medical sterilization of fluoropolymer films

    When medical devices coated with these films have to be sterilized repeatedly, manufacturers have to evaluate the long-term performance of the film. This varies depending on the kind of fluoropolymer and the sterilization method used, and adds an additional point of complexity in the design and manufacturing equation.

  • Electric vehicles could benefit from this deployment plan

    The proposal would help fund the adoption of electric school buses and public transportation, and also could lead to almost 2,500 charging stations across the state.

  • US intelligence calls for footage to train its facial recognition tech

    Researchers from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) team are requesting that companies, cities and academia help build an enormous video dataset for the purpose of training its facial recognition algorithms.

  • Microgrid project eyes carbon neutrality as it nears completion

    The project will have twin 2 MW solar power plants along with six gas engines that have a total generating capacity of 8.1 MW.

  • This utility is speeding up its carbon reduction timeline

    The revised goal moves up by a full decade the carbon reduction commitment the utility made two years ago.

  • The first pole-mounted, multi-access edge AI and machine learning solution

    The new solution is a compact, low-profile, pole or wall-mountable unit based on an integration of Adlink’s latest AI Edge Server MECS-7210 and Charles’ SC102 Micro Edge Enclosure.

  • This utility is adding 247 MW of wind energy capacity

    The generating capacity will help the utility more than double its use of renewable energy by 2021.

  • Kickstarter launches for robot therapy dog

    To improve the quality of life for seniors and people living with dementia, a robotics company has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the development of a robot therapy dog.

  • April brings showers – and pothole repairs

    What are science and engineering doing to alleviate the suffering that potholes inflict on motorists and highway departments?

  • Ultra-soft and extremely affordable thermal gap filler

    When sandwiched between components of varying shapes and sizes and a nearby heat sink or spreader, this compliant 2.5 watts per meter-Kelvin (W/m° K) thermal interface material exhibits a thermal resistance as low as 0.42° C in2/W at 14 pounds per square inch (PSI).

  • Startup employs human drivers to oversee autonomous vehicles

    A Portland-based startup has developed a system that enables human drivers to monitor and, in the event of an emergency, operate driverless vehicles.

  • Funding set for interstate bridge-tunnel expansion

    The project is designed to add new interstate capacity and twin two-lane bored tunnels along nearly 10 miles of Interstate 64 between Hampton and Norfolk.

  • Chicago looks to revise its 1940s-era building code

    The new code would represent the first comprehensive revisions to the city's building code in 70 years.
